Merry Christmas Tag - Farrel Tailor - Mood Board challenge

Hi there Dusty Attic lovers, Farrel here today to share with you my interpretation of this month's mood board..... and can I just say Wow!!! I love these colours this month, very rarely will I do anything with a Christmas theme. Not because I don't like Christmas..... I LOVE Christmas but I find it is a busy time of year and photo's are never how I like them but I thought I would change it up this a create a Christmas Tag.

I used a chipboard sheet and cut it to 3 1/4 x 6 1/4 inches. The first paper layer is a Basic Grey pp and the second is 7 Dots Studio - Cotton Candy range.

I tore up a piece of corrugated cardstock and dry brushed white gesso onto it. I adhered it and some cheesecloth to the tag. I also cut a silver and white paper straw in half and adhered it to the corrugated cardstock.

I used white embossing powder to cover my small string frame and Twisted Iron #2 chipboard and adhered them to the tag.

 I painted the flowers with Art Alchemy Metallique Light Patina acrylic paint and added some antique silver Glitzin' Glamour to the center of the flowers before adhering to the tag.

Next I covered the Wordpl@y #5 with white gesso, making sure I get into the letters. Once dry I lightly covered the chipboard with some silver ink. Then to finish off the tag I added some art stones and pebbles as fillers and added a chalk spray in turquoise over the art stones.

Welcome!

A new year has begun with many new hopes, wishes and dreams. 

 One of them has already come true 

I'm very happy and proud to work in such a very talented and amazing team :-)!

I think and hope it will be an amazing year for us all!

Today I am sharing my take on this month's gorgeous Mood Board.

 

I was inspired by the sea colours, a beautiful palette with my favourite theme. 

For this mixed media layout I used a picture from our latest summer holiday, it shows a very exciting beach life with a lot of stone cairns. 

We always found it very exciting and discovered there again and again very interesting stones, shells and drift wood.

I was in love with this beautiful Scribble Frame Set very suitable for a layout

 in nature style. I chose also some other maritime elements 

such like driftwood pieces, shells and seeweed.

some details

I used brown embossing powder for the frame and driftwood

 and rubbed white paint over some surface places.

The other chippies were covered with snow white embossing powder.

I also love the origin colour shade of this chipboards 
and when I create layouts in vintage 
or nature style I often use the origin look
or I apply the embossing powder only in some places, 
so that a natural weathered impression arises.

Merry Christmas - Jen Burns - Mood Board Inspiration

Hi everyone, Jen here with you today with a 12x12 layout that I am going to put into a frame as a Christmas decoration. I have used the Mintay line of papers as I totally loved them as soon as I saw them, plus they really match this months Mood Board Challenge.

I really like fussy cutting so I have quite a few layers of the paper, teamed with NEW and older pieces of chippy.
